History & Biography
The hard rock band was founded in 2006. Singer Tobias Lundgren and drummer Ronny Millianovicz were the founders. The former did not stay more than a few months. The debut album In Shadows Lost From The Brave arrived in January of 2008. There was a video for the song My Heart. The band was composed of singer Jan Thore Grefstad (Highland Glory), guitarist Toya Johansson, bassist Magnus Noberg (Dionysus) and drummer Ronny Milianowicz (Dionysus and ex-Sinergy). Toya Johansson was a fan of Celine Dion. The band appeared at ProgPowerUSA. Ghost arrived ten years after its predecessor and was on Ram It Down Records. Jarle Byberg (Highland Glory) was on drums (as he was with every other band). Anyone who thought Ram It Down Records was probably a one-man entity with no promotion, publicity or support would have noticed that the band did even worse and had landed on AFM Records for League Of The Serpent! Alfred Fridhagen was on drums. The band booked its first German gig for Hamburg for December of 2023. The band was touring with Induction and Battle Beast in Europe in 2024. The quartet was recording in 2025.


Reviews

SAINT DEAMON - IN SHADOWS LOST FROM THE BRAVE - LOCOMOTIVE  
Which one is more confusing? The band’s or the album’s name? What do they mean? Was someone drinking too much?
One supposes that it is too much to ask that someone at record companies starts getting the track listing on the albums right. My CD lists twelve tracks (including an intro), but it happens that there are fourteen tracks on the album itself. Who knows what is what in such a situation?
Saint Deamon is made up of several well-known musicians from bands like Sinergy and Dionysus (cool long hair on a couple of these guys). It is hardy surprising that the music sounds like a mix of European power metal and pop music. The affair begins with an acoustic track before taking on the mould of Helloween and Freedom Call with the commercial refrains, upbeat melodies and a dosage of synthesizers.
Warning! Not Sure about the track names or order! The Burden has very high screams reminding one of Rob Halford. The melody in the middle is just like the soundtrack music found in the film Beautiful Girls. No Mans Land is slower and has a whiff of Manowar. The song before last has more keyboards than average and is actually like Saga. The song before it is probably the album’s poppiest and happy-go-lucky. The effort is solid, but hardly revolutionary given repetitious ballads and songs like Ride Forever. I am still annoyed by the wrong track listing. - Sheila Wes Det
